help with thsi promble

From ZachD's most helpful web site (Zach is one of the Microsoft Windows
media developers) http://www.nwlink.com/~zachd/pss/pss.html:

"Q: Why do I get the error "The system cannot find the path specified."
(0x80070003) or "The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is
incorrect." when trying to record (rip) from an Audio CD?
A: The registry key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\MediaPlayer\Preferences
value "CDRecordpath" got corrupted. Go to WMP's Tools:Options:CD Audio
menu option, and fix the path, and make sure you click Apply when done.
Note that the path may look correct, but you should ensure you click Apply
anyways ( uncheck and recheck a checkbox on this page to get Apply to
enable itself).

If that doesn't work, try rebuilding the Media Library;

In Windows Media Player 9 Series, the library is per user. The user's
database will be found at " C:\Documents and Settings\%username%\Local
Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Media Player\CurrentDatabase_59R.wmdb"
on a Windows XP system. On other systems, just look for
"CurrentDatabase_59R.wmdb" on the system. To rename it, just add ".bak" to
the file.

If you cannot find the library: open a DOS/command prompt ("cmd.exe" on
NT/XP, "command" on Win9x) and run:
cd \
dir /s /b c*.wmdb
and that'll list out all the WMP libraries on the system.

For Windows Media Player 7 or 8: Rename (or delete if you're sure)
"wmplibrary_v_0_12.db" and your Media Library will be toast. On Windows 9x
it'll be found at "c:\windows", on NT (Win2000/WinXP), it'll be found at
"C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Media
Index" [This is a HIDDEN directory]. Rename this file to something such as
"wmplibrary_v_0_12.bak", then open WMP and see if the corruption is fixed.
If it was not, delete the new "wmplibrary_v_0_12.db" and rename the old
one back.

Once the library has been nuked/replaced, you should also enter "regsvr32
wmpcore.dll" into the Windows' Start:Run prompt to reregister WMP's
database schema. This is only necessary for WMP7/WMP8.

Once you have renamed/recreated the Media Library, you will need to use
WMP's Tools:Search for Media option in order to restock your media
library. "
